A shell script which turns your OS X laptop into an awesome data wrangling machine

Laptop

Laptop is a script to set up an OS X laptop for web development.

It can be run multiple times on the same machine safely. It installs, upgrades, or skips packages based on what is already installed on the machine.

Requirements

We support:

• OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Older versions may work but aren't regularly tested. Bug reports for older versions are welcome.

Install

Download, review, then execute the script:

curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mmatkinson/laptop/master/mac
curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mmatkinson/laptop/master/.laptop.local

less mac
sh mac 2>&1 | tee ~/laptop.log

What it sets up

• Bundler for managing Ruby libraries
• Exuberant Ctags for indexing files for vim tab completion
• gh for interacting with the GitHub API
• Heroku Toolbelt for interacting with the Heroku API
• Homebrew for managing operating system libraries
• ImageMagick for cropping and resizing images
• Node.js and NPM, for running apps and installing JavaScript packages
• Postgres for storing relational data
• Rbenv for managing versions of Ruby
• RCM for managing company and personal dotfiles
• Redis for storing key-value data
• Ruby Build for installing Rubies
• Ruby stable for writing general-purpose code
• The Silver Searcher for finding things in files
• Tmux for saving project state and switching between projects
• Zsh as your shell
• Oh-my-zsh for more shell goodness
• go
• ds-at-the-commandline command line utilities

It should take less than 15 minutes to install (depends on your machine).

Customize in ~/.laptop.local

Your ~/.laptop.local is run at the end of the Laptop script. Put your customizations there. For example:

#!/bin/sh

brew_tap 'caskroom/cask'
brew_install_or_upgrade 'brew-cask'

brew cask install dropbox
brew cask install google-chrome
brew cask install rdio

gem_install_or_update 'parity'

brew_install_or_upgrade 'tree'
brew_install_or_upgrade 'watch'

Write your customizations such that they can be run safely more than once. See the mac script for examples.

Laptop functions such as fancy_echo, brew_install_or_upgrade, and gem_install_or_update can be used in your ~/.laptop.local.

See the wiki for more customization examples.
